Do-it-yourself new character challenges
As much as I like cruising around the galaxy with my fully kitted-out main character, I really like the beginning stages of the game. I guess it was partly because of doing the achievements and expeditions, but I got addicted to the first few days of game time when your resources and abilities are limited, and I tend to start new characters and level them until I got bored and delete them.
But lately I've been setting challenges for myself. It started simple; get to an S-class multitool, ship, and freigter. Okay, that was fun. Full explorer run, maxing out the Explorer's Guild rep? Cool.
So then I started getting a little more elaborate.
Neural Assembly
You are a stranded alien life form who's managed to weld themselves to a robotic body, and you're desperate to re-connect to your people. Put the Ares head on an Autophage body and get to the living ship as fast as possible.
Octopus' Garden
You are a grumpy octopoid being who just wants to be left alone to make things and get wealthy. Build a base that includes a fully functional production line making fusion ignitors and stasis cores, deep underwater. Wear the Iteration: Gemini head. Use the bubble trail.
My next one's going to be fun.
Rebel Scum
You are a robot, and that makes you mad. Full-on Autophage run. Get a sentinel S-class ship, an S-class autophage staff or sentinel weapon, and a pirate frigate. Make a seriously badass autophage getup. Max out pirate reputation.
Does anyone else do these little self-created kind-of story-like expeditions? Any other suggestions?
